Welcome. :blink:
Do you like John Williams? His early work was a little too jazzy for my taste, but when Jaws came out in '75 I really think he came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and an air of consummate professionalism that really gives the pieces a big boost. He's been compared to Jerry Goldsmith but I think John has a far more leitmotif-driven style of composing. In '82 John composed this, E.T., his most accomplished album to date. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "The Magic of Halloween", a theme so catchy most people don't listen to what it means. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of childhood and the importance of friendship, it's also a personal statement about the man himself. Hey Paul!

Interesting way to "industrialize" scores.

Personally, I find that the work generally sounds "the same" to me. Kind of a Love/Hate relationship.

Many of the composers who are part of the Media Ventures/Remote Control group do great work, for instance John Powell's Bourne scores, or John Powell/Harry Gregson-Williams's work on Chicken Run.

But there isn't much that is new or exciting from that camp.

Looking at some of the project they do, such as Transformers, their work is never innapropriate for the project, and work well in the contexts of the movies.

After careful consideration, I have decided not to endorse your message board!
Repeat the JWFan pledge after me: 'I hereby recognise John Towner Williams' place in the world as the great composer there has ever been, and I therefore renounce the works of Rozsa, Korngold, Herrmann, Horner, Kamen, Giacchino (unless the prophecy is fulfilled and he becomes the heir to JTW) and Goldsmith, especially Goldsmith. I understand that if I ever refer to Jurassic Park as anything less than "a masterpiece sixty-five million years in the making" I will be resigned to living out my days at the Zimmershrine.'

He's a poster here who was either banned or just hasn't been around lately. But you can ignore us, we're just quoting Jurassic Park. :P
